As a parent, you want to give your child a solid foundation for living a happy, successful life. But if you have a child who is easily sidelined by obstacles, has trouble bouncing back from setbacks, who melts down easily, or gives up quickly when things get tough--you may worry about their ability to succeed in our competitive, high-pressure world. So, how can you help your child develop grit--a trait that embodies tenacity and self-control?

Fortunately, grit can be learned. Written in a kid-friendly tone and grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), The Grit Workbook for Kids offers a unique approach for learning and practicing the tools, strategies, and skills that make up grit. These activities will help your child:

• Build stamina

• Be optimistic
• Solve problems
• Cope with change

• Stick up for themselves
• Build good relationships
• And much, much more

Grit is key to helping kids succeed in what they want or need to do--whether that's getting good grades, making the sports team, or just building an awesome treehouse. By practicing the skills and activities outlined in this accessible workbook--whether on their own or with you--your child will gain powerful tools to help them thrive, well into adulthood.
